VERY LOUD Severe Storm Approaching Elgin, IL 7/21/17

[@lightningbolt99999]

Wow! Over 15,000 views. This is my most viewed storm footage. Thank you everyone. I'm glad you've enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun filming this storm.

[@dwightstewart7181]

Why don't you put a wind muffler on your microphone so we can hear the storm instead of the noise distortion of your microphone? Absent that noise, I'd say this was a fairly normal storm with fairly normal winds.

[@FroggypondVideos]

I know the exact neighborhood you are recording at i got into a fender bender just down the road while i was visiting my auntie

[@FroggypondVideos]

I dont think you are in elgin i think you are a little south of elgin like i guess you could say your in south elgin

Dwight Stewart loud as in the thunder, not the winds 👍

[@RikkiSpanish]

That was some fierce lightning. I could feel the hair on my head standing straight up just watching this on my phone. Thank you for sharing your video with us.

[@lightningbolt99999]

Rikki Spanish You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@AFriendlyTheo]

St.Charles guy here- I sat on the porch calling my friend in her basement telling her it's just a severe thunderstorm, no rotation or anything of the sort. She was scared shitless (rightfully so) and I was enjoying the well-lit storm. *It's important to note that we rarely get tornados in northern Illinois, once in a blue moon at most.

[@pegallen6983]

That second bolt was so close. The slight jump was to be expected when the thunder came. Great job keeping your composure and not oohing and aahing at every bolt of lightning. That is one of my biggest pet peeves with thunderstorm videos just let mother nature do her own magic without narration and making noises during every exciting moment

[@weatherataglance6075]

Dude, you had a beautiful supercell with a forming hook and RFD! That is amazing!

[@Ichigoat19]

No,It was Microburst with 70-90 Mph winds and hail

[@EssexHouseMax]

We had a storm like this last week in the DC area...non stop lightning and thunder booming! Love it

[@prittjoseph]

Live out by Dulles Airport, think that weather station there helps with making our storms worse in the DMV esp the ones that come from the NW

[@ThomasCorfield]

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I wish we had big storms here in Adelaide, Australia.

[@jameshaberkamp5927]

Awesome lightning at the beginning

[@alabamared2568]

According to that radar scan the cell that's incoming has a hook!!!

[@lightningbolt99999]

pecdipper 815 Yup!

[@jeenashirkey1987]

hook?

[@bmnnbmnn]

simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_echo

[@Crack_Roach]

pecdipper 815 bro? It’s not even that defined..

[@Totalpleasure1972]

That was a hook. Not well defined, but defined enough to be seen as one.

[@rileysmith9843]

I heard a tornado warned storm come into my area very loudly one time.

[@pee_cock]

I was gonna go swimming at some place in either Lake in the Hills or Crystal Lake, and apparently this storm appeared so we had to stay in my car until it was over and when we went to my uncles house we ended up swimming in a huge water puddle in the ground by a playground xD

[@hannaharocha7811]

I live in Tucson Arizona and last year during the monsoon we had a storm like this with really close lightning. It was insane. Sounded like bombs were going off in my neighborhood lol I even saw sparks flying off something across the street

[@surrey_guy6533]

Love the sound of thunder

[@SETX_Sirens_and_Rail_02]

Is that an Acurite 3-in-1? I personally have an Acurite 5-in-1.

[@deggy1527]

This storm damaged my roof and we had to get a new one. I was leaving for South Carolina at the time and when we come back the roof is damaged

[@clqsia]

There is a severe storm in where I live beginning and I am very scared...

[@angrybird72903]

What type of CO detector beeped at 4:37?

[@heatherstub]

Was the rest of the video too obscure as far as the audio goes? If not, could you upload the 20 minute long video, or would you rather not? It's okay either way. Again, thanks for uploading this.

[@williamweir322]

Superb catch, well done

[@reyxgonz]

I remember this happening and one of the electricity poles caught fire

[@jackiemcniff4302]

On the Doppler radar, it looked like the storm had rotation, because it had a hook echo.

[@kxmmillienzillien8871]

What's that kid on the bike just standing there

[@Gamma_Radiation]

It started to thunder at my housr after I clicked this and I was surprised my phone made that much sound. Great video btw!

[@lightningbolt99999]

Thank you! :)

[@vintagedreams162]

I wonder if putting a band-aid or some type of gause on the mike area would help eliminate the wind .... i enjoyed the storm except for the wind since i use headphones. 😣

[@med7117]

Oh wow Elgin. I’m not to far from there. We don’t usually see yhis

[@gunslinger434]

If that storm didn't produce a tornado then it missed a great chance. You were definitely in the inflow winds, and the storm was beginning to rotate.

[@torimig2151]

It looked like a tornado was coming

[@Veshremy_Fan-ql6ju]

Radical nice video I’m subed

[@themodernenthusiast]

I saw a tornado also

[@mrj7046]

Wasnt this tornado tornado warned?

[@SPCcranford1056]

Holy crap! I love it!

[@progenitor_amborella]

1:41 what was that iembot ping?

[@lightningbolt99999]

I can’t remember. It was more than likely a storm report or some other miscellaneous thing, given that I didn’t react to it.

[@veronicaa4493]

I also live in Elgin, il

[@andrebrooks4891]

That is some loud thunder and strong lightning. My turn

[@heatherstub]

Dude! I really hope you'll be able to capture more of those, but can you find somewhere under cover outside to capture those? The wind is ruining the audio quality. Also, the audio could be better in true stereo, but I especially love that thunder. It's too bad that the wind was (uh, blowing away) the sounds of the thunder and rain. Please, please; be safe out there. Thanks a lot.

[@thunderstormjoeyhaneypart3809]

2:02 what is that a tornado

[@squirreltamer2548]

When Mother Nature is on her period you get this... Roll clip!

[@daisysfunzome5422]

Lol

[@chaymrow1542]

Squirrel Tamer LOL HAHA

[@NariNaraga22]

That is an angry sky! 😲

[@DuncanDominoes]

0:04 what app is that? just asking

[@lightningbolt99999]

lot606 Pokemon It's called RadarScope. It is the BEST radar app out there. :)

[@barbaralane9146]

When mother nature comes calling, everybody should listen!!!!!!😱😱😱😨😨😨

[@tornado69yt]

what the fuuuck.....

[@Anthony-47]

AYE U LIVE IN ELGIN ILLINOIS TOO

[@boic2038]

Did this storm have any rotation?

[@lightningbolt99999]

Boi c none that I’m aware of

[@adammassingale2882]

Did that ever cause a tornado

[@lightningbolt99999]

Adam Massingale no

[@adammassingale2882]

lightningbolt99999 oh

[@necondaa]

What radar app do you use? I’ll be in North Chicago hopefully next year due to Navy boot camp!

[@lightningbolt99999]

Patrick R I use an app called RadarScope

[@connieelliott5359]

I've also got radarscope

[@barberjeff67]

That first bolt of lightning would have me indoors quickly! Lol

[@VideoFanatic02]

Me too.

[@davidca96]

my favorite weather is supercell thunderstorms, nature rules

[@nenblom]

Liked and subbed! It almost looks as if there was some rotation with this storm.

[@nenblom]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[@Obreyze]

@@nenblom are you talking to ur slef

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

No hail? No tornado? No wind damage? Just wind and scary lightning.

[@nenblom]

Liked and subbed! Imagine if we could learn to harness the power of storms.

[@prestonjones9290]

What radar is that

[@lightningbolt99999]

It's a great radar app called RadarScope. In my opinion, it's the best radar app there is. It costs $10 but is well worth the money!

[@prestonjones9290]

Okay thanks!!!

[@FroggypondVideos]

Lmao i would be out all day and night driving in this!

[@nenblom]

Was there rotation with this storm? Awesome footage!!

[@lightningbolt99999]

None that I am aware of. Thank you!

[@nenblom]

@@lightningbolt99999 It almost seemed like it in the beginning.

[@adammassingale2882]

did this cause a tornado

[@lightningbolt99999]

Adam Massingale no

[@spacetrucker2952]

We've got thunderstorms in our forecast. Hope they're entertaining!!!

[@lightningbolt99999]

SPACE TRUCKER Yup! I'm looking forward to it! I hope to get some footage.

[@spacetrucker2952]

They were entertaining alright, we had tornadoes.

[@vishalSharma-ol9fl]

Am in india and I can't even think how insulting and embarrassing our thunderstorms are in front of this. All we get are some clouds and drizzle when we have thunderstorms predicted. I dunno why do they even call them a thunderstorm.

[@spacetrucker2952]

That's why these videos are here.

[@BlizzardSnostormOG]

we live in the same city

[@BlizzardSnostormOG]
